HOUSTON — U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino faulted match officials for three key calls in the Americans’ 2-1 CONCACAF Gold Cup final loss to Mexico on Sunday night, saying they wouldn’t allow a video review to deny an El Tri goal for the third time in the tournament.

As Mexico took on the U.S. men’s national team in the Concacaf Gold Cup final, striker Raúl Jiménez honored Jota ahead of kickoff, wearing “Diogo J” and Jota’s No. 20 as he walked out for the national anthems.

Mexico beat the U.S. men’s national team 2-1 to win back-to-back Gold Cup titles for its 10th overall crown. El Tri had not defeated the Americans in a competitive match in six years, the last victory coming in the 2019 final of this tournament.
